A view of Tampella from Näsinneula

Tampella (until 2002 known as Naistenlahti[1]) is a neighbourhood in the northern part of the city center of Tampere, Finland. It consists of the old Tampella factory area, the Armonkallio residential area and the Naistenlahti harbor area.[2] The neighboring parts of the internally heterogeneous district located on the shores of Lake Näsijärvi are Lapinniemi, Lappi, Osmonmäki, Tammela, Jussinkylä, Finlayson and Särkänniemi.[3]

The Naistenlahti Power Plant operates on the shores of Lake Näsijärvi in Tampella.[4] The Vapriikki Museum Centre is also located in the district.[5]
